# Google Ads Keyword Research with AI

> Generate keyword ideas, get search volume, check competition, review CPC ranges, and export Google Keyword Planner data using HireOtto.

***

HireOtto connects directly to the Google Keyword Planner API — the same data source the Google Ads UI uses, without the extra clicks. You can generate new keyword ideas from seed terms or a URL, score a list of keywords you already have, or do both in a single conversation.

## Two modes: ideas vs. metrics

**Keyword ideas** — you give HireOtto seed keywords or a landing page URL, and it returns an expanded list of related keywords with search volume, competition, and CPC ranges. Use this when you're building a new campaign or exploring a new topic.

**Historical metrics** — you give HireOtto a list of specific keywords you already have, and it returns search volume, competition, and bid data for exactly those terms. No expansion. Use this to score and prioritise a keyword list you've already built.

***

## Generating keyword ideas

**From seed keywords:**

```text theme={null}
Generate keyword ideas for [SEED_KEYWORD_1], [SEED_KEYWORD_2] — target [LOCATION].
```

**From a URL:**

```text theme={null}
Generate keyword ideas from this URL: [YOUR_URL] — target [LOCATION].
```

**Combining seeds and a URL:**

```text theme={null}
Generate keyword ideas for "[SEED_KEYWORD]" and this page: [YOUR_URL] — target United States.
```

**Options you can add:**

Filter by competition level to focus on winnable terms:

```text theme={null}
Generate keyword ideas for "[SEED_KEYWORD]" — target US, low competition only, minimum 500 monthly searches.
```

Sort by a different metric:

```text theme={null}
Generate keyword ideas for "[SEED_KEYWORD]" — sort by competition (ascending), target UK.
```

Get more results than the default (25):

```text theme={null}
Generate keyword ideas for "[SEED_KEYWORD]" — return top 50 results, target US.
```

Export for further analysis:

```text theme={null}
Generate keyword ideas for "[SEED_KEYWORD]" — target US, export to CSV.
```

## Getting historical metrics for a known list

Use this when you already have keywords and want to score them before adding to a campaign.

```text theme={null}
Get historical metrics for these keywords: [KW1], [KW2], [KW3] — target [LOCATION].
```

**Tip:** If you're passing more than 25 keywords, tell HireOtto to increase the limit — otherwise results will be cut off:

```text theme={null}
Get historical metrics for these 40 keywords: [LIST] — target US, show all results.
```

***

## Targeting multiple locations

By default results are aggregated across all locations you specify. If you want separate results per location (e.g. to compare US vs UK volume), ask for per-location mode:

```text theme={null}
Generate keyword ideas for "[SEED_KEYWORD]" — show results separately for US, UK, and Australia.
```

```text theme={null}
Get historical metrics for [KW1], [KW2] — per location: United States, Canada, India.
```

***

## Language targeting

Default is English. To target a different language:

```text theme={null}
Generate keyword ideas for "[SEED_KEYWORD]" — target Germany, language German.
```

***

## Including Google Search Partners

By default, results reflect Google Search only. To include Search Partners in the network:

```text theme={null}
Generate keyword ideas for "[SEED_KEYWORD]" — target US, include Search Partners.
```

***

## Typical keyword research workflow

A full research session for a new campaign might look like this:

**Step 1 — Explore and expand:**

```text theme={null}
Generate keyword ideas for "[CORE_TOPIC]" — target [LOCATION], minimum 200 monthly searches, show top 50.
```

**Step 2 — Score your shortlist:**

```text theme={null}
Get historical metrics for these keywords: [SHORTLISTED_KWs] — target [LOCATION].
```

**Step 3 — Export for the campaign:**

```text theme={null}
Export the keyword ideas to CSV.
```

## Next step: build the campaign

Once you have a keyword list, use [How to Create a Google Ads Campaign with AI](/guides/create-a-google-ads-campaign-with-ai) to turn those keywords into ad groups, match types, responsive search ads, and a paused Search campaign you can review before launch.
